Installing and Replacing Components
Before You Begin
Warnings
The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with
industrial electronics and with safety
practices and regulatory compliance required
for using and modifying electronic
equipment. Disconnect the system from its
p o w e r s o u r c e a n d f r o m a n y
telecommunication
links,
networks
or
modems before performing any of the
procedures described in this chapter. Failure
to disconnect power, or telecommunication links before you open the system or perform any
procedures can result in personal injury or equipment damage. Some parts of the system can continue
to operate even though the power switch is in its off state.
Caution
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage
components. Perform the procedures
described in this chapter only at an ESD
workstation. If such a station is not available,
you can provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap and
attaching it to a metal part of the system
chassis or board front panel. Store the board
only in its original ESD protected packaging. Retain the original packaging (antistatic bag and
antistatic box) in case of returning the board to EKF for repair.
